HEATING-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 576,034, dated January26, 1897.

Application filed May 18, 1895. Serial No. 549,806. (No model.)

To rtZZ whmn it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE W. COPE, of Detroit, in the county of Wayneand State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement inHeating-Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists in an improvement in heating-stoves, hereinafterfully described and claimed.

Figure 1 is a perspective of a stove embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is afront elevation of one of the interior sect-ions. Fig. 3 is a section online y 'y, Fig. 1; and Fig. 4 is a section on line 22, Fig. 1.

My invention consists in making stoves of sections of improvedconstruction, so that instead of being obliged to carry a great manysizes of patterns to make different sizes of stoves a greater or lessnumber of sections may be put together to form stoves of differentsizes.

My improved stove consists, essentially, of three parts, first, a frontsection (marked A) provided with a fire-door B and a draft-door (or not,at will) and with legs (Z; second, a rear section II, provided with legs6, closed entirely at its rear end, except for a draftopening it, boththe sections A and II being open on one side, and, third, anintermediate section or sections G, open on both sides, each sectionbeing provided with an aperture a near the top to receive a rod N,provided at one end with a head 02 and arranged at the other end toengage with a screw-nut F, and at the bottom the end sections areprovided with apertures to take a rod M, provided at one end with a headM and at the other end to engage with a screw-nut E. The meeting edgesof the sections are arranged in any convenient way to make a close jointbetween them when drawn together, a good way being that shown in Fig. 3,in which one section is provided with a groove fand the adjacent edge ofthe next section with a tongue I) to fit in said groove.

The stove is provided with a grate I, supported on lugs formed in thesections justbelow the opening for the door B. The grate is made insections, there being one such gratesection for each stove-section, asmost clearly shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings.

It is well known that the forms of grate adapted forburning coal or forburning wood differ somewhat, and there are a number of Varieties ofgrates for these difierent fuels, and any known form of grate may beused.

It is evident that by means of my invention a dealer may buy and carryin stock a large number of sections and may fit up stoves of differentlengths for different places by simply assembling a greater or lessnumber of sections, and using longer or shorter tierods to fasten themtogether, whereby the cost of carrying stock is greatly reduced, andwhereby also a large saving is made in freight, as the sections may beshipped separately and put together when and where desired.

WVhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

A heating-stove, consisting of a front section having a fire-door on oneside and open throughout on its opposite side, a rear section having aclosed side provided with a draft-hole and open throughout on the otherside, a plurality of intermediate sections all in unobstructedcommunication at their contiguous sides, tie-rods extending through thefront, rear, and intermediate sections, and a grate made in sections,each section of the stove being provided with its own grate-section,substantially as described.
